How is obesity increasing in the United Kingdom?
In 1980, only six percent of men and eight percent of women were obese. The lifestyle of people has changed dramatically. A balanced diet is being replaced by fast food, junk food, and preservative-injected foods. Exercise and walking to work has been replaced with car journeys and overconsumption of gas, lounging at home snacking on the couch, and playing sports videogames instead of the sport itself.
